Creates only empty md file on Ubuntu #5

Hi, when I run DyAnnotationExtractor.sh it produces an empty md-file.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.05 LTS Java: openjdk version "11.0.9.1" 2020-11-04

Input-File: Ubuntu 1804 english.pdf

The command I executed: ./DyAnnotationExtractor.sh -input ./documents/Ubuntu\ 1804\ english.pdf

I tried to check if there is something wrong with the annotations. The pdf-highlights-extractor (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfhex/) extracts the two highlighted texts.

Interesting case - thank you for reporting it. The problem was caused by text content attached to the highlighted area. That text content was made BOM marker (only) and appears like empty string. The problem is now fixed in DyAnnotationExtractor version 1.3.

Hi, thanks for the quick reaction! The DyAnnotationExtractor now produces a file with all the text I highlighted, but it is appending all the extracted texts to each other, resulting in one long text.

As a user I would like to be able to distinguish between the different extracted highlights.

This could be a feature. Probably - combine the highlighted areas which belong to single paragraph, and separate them if they are from different paragraphs. I will think on this.
